The Talking Drum by King Crimson

This is the fifth track off of King Crimson’s fifth studio album "Larks' Tongues in Aspic". The song is a straight bass/drums beat with modal solos by Cross and Fripp, decorated by Muir’s percussion. When the piece reaches its loudest level, the guitar plays a signal motif, and the group knows it’s almost time to head into “Larks’ Tongues Part II“. .
